The Free Visio Viewer is an application which facilitates opening of Visio files. It also allows the user to print the files on Visio in quick and easy steps. The files which need to be opened in the Visio Viewer may contain plans, diagrams, charts and the Free Visio Viewer makes it easier for the user to view and comprehend it. The drawing or file which needs to be viewed is initially available in an Internet Explorer window. When the window is double clicked, the drawing can be viewed. Therefore, its benefit lies in the simplicity with which the same Visio files can be viewed and printed. There are many other advantages of using this free software.

Summary
OUTDATED does not work for *.vsdx files
Nb Mick
Pros
- MS provides a visio viewer that only works as IE extension :-(
- There seems to be a decent viewer from a competitor program which only works when I upload my files to their server on the web :-(
- So this software seems right for working offline as a standalone application. It installed nicely and looks good.
Cons
But it is *absolutely unusable for me* since the files I need to view are written in the new format. Too bad the description doesn't say so.
